Man Utd's incoming minority owner Jim Ratcliffe is an admirer of Ashworth but sources tell i he remains 'fully invested' in Newcastle
No Ben Stokes and too much golf: What's gone wrong for England at the Cricket World CupMan Utd’s incoming minority owner Jim Ratcliffe is an admirer of Ashworth but sources tell i he remains ‘fully invested’ in NewcastleAlthough the INEOS camp are reticent to get drawn on the exact details of the agreement or how much work remains to be done on the structure of the deal, there is an acknowledgement that Ratcliffe has done his homework ahead of becoming a co-owner.
The squad looks unbalanced and disjointed, the result of several different managers being backed expensively in the transfer market. Worse still, many of those no longer in favour are on long contracts that interested clubs are not prepared to match. Ratcliffe himself accused the club of being the “dumb money” in 2019 and in truth little has changed since then.
A proposed restructure of football operations is one potential solution with a new director of football possible. Likely candidates include Paul Mitchell, who has recently left Monaco and is based in Manchester, and former Liverpool sporting director Michael Edwards.And Ratcliffe has been greatly impressed by the work done by Ashworth, who has overseen the second phase of Newcastle’s development after their 2021 takeover byunderstands.
It is typical of the sort of challenges Ratcliffe and INEOS are set to face when they finally get the keys to Old Trafford. There are no easy wins and a pack of well-funded, smart rivals who have overtaken United in recent years are not likely to take any approaches for key men lying down.
